Subject: [APG] Creating Databases for online websites

Hi Fellow Members.

I am looking for some coaching and/or some help in getting some work online
that will be free for researchers of a particular village in Italy. I and
some
"distant" cousins are working on extracting records for the Village of
Senerchia, Avellino Province, Italy. I will be creating a free website for
Senerchia in an attempt to bring descendants of Senerchia together. It is a
small
village and many of the families intermarried. Of course, it is the village
in
which my grandfather and his parents were born. We are currently working on
a
marriage database and hope to then move into births and deaths.

My only experience is in putting information into tables and uploading that
online. My wish is to put this information into a database in which someone

could enter just a surname and get the results for that surname. I supposed
it
could be set up similar to the Illinois Marriage database that the Archives
have put online. Where you could enter the surname of the Groom or the
Surname
of the Bride and it would pull the results of that from the database.

Can someone explain to me how this works and if, given my limited resources,

it is a possibility to set this up. I do not have finances to pay for
setting
this up, and I feel I'm probably going to have to just put the information
just into tables for either the year, or sort events by surname and just
list
the surnames. I'm confused and a little frustrated about putting this
together,
but remain committed to bringing my ancestors' information to the world for
those who live anywhere to locate. We are working on the marriage database
which appears to extend from 1866 through 1910. At the present time I have
them
all in an excel spreadsheet so I can sort and manipulate the data.

Can anyone give me any advice and/or direction? Thanks.
